For the newly updated and expanded full-color edition, see "MORE Baking Just Like Oma" (Oma’s Signature Series).

This cookbook is the original collection of Oma Gerhild's tried-and-true baking recipes, with beautiful black-and-white photos and helpful hints and tips, for the traditional Black Forest Cherry Cake (plus a super easy version), Apple Strudel, Pretzels, Rye Bread, Chocolate Cream Torte, Cream Puffs, Lebkuchen, Marzipan, and dozens more.

Re-create Oma’s Traditional German baked treats right in your kitchen, regardless of where in the world you live. Gerhild Fulson, founder of the blog, Just Like Oma, was born in Germany and learned how to bake delicious bread, rolls, tortes, and Christmas treats at her Mutti's side.

You’ll find many recipes have Oma’s Ecke (Grandma’s Corner) with extra info, such as what to do if you don't have a bread machine, for the very few recipes that may use it. Also included are some unusual coloring pages scattered throughout that contain special baking tips and hints to help you as you travel through this German baking adventure together with Oma.

And to make it easier for everyone, these recipes are adjusted to also include standard US measurements instead of weighing the ingredients, which is the norm in Germany. Using local ingredients can be a bit of a challenge, but German baking is actually not that difficult to replicate, especially when you have an Oma beside you.

With easy-to-follow recipes, you'll soon be enjoying those mouthwatering treats of your childhood. With its special Christmas section, be ready to be enveloped in the aromas of a traditional German Christmas.

So, what do you say? Let’s get baking and create these mouth-watering treats as delectable treasures to pass on to your family, just like Oma Gerhild's Mutti did for hers.
